City of Belfast Golf Club

The wee nine hole in mallusk is the best value for money for a nine hole course I can think of off hand, the course itself is in and has been in great condition every time I’ve played it, the course is small enough for the beginner and technical enough for low handicappers. The practice areas consist of two putting greens one pitching green and a driving net, hard to beat considering its £16 through the week and £20 at weekends for 18 holes with great customer service to go along with it.

Second time on this course. My first time was in early May and there had been a lot of sand applied to the fairways and greens, as it had obviously had a lot of lying surface water over the winter. Didn't spoil it too much other than the greens being a bit slow. We came back as we loved the course itself and despite a very wet start to June there was very little surface water and the greens were running much better even with the recent rain. We loved the actual layout again and at the low price it's definitely a wee 9 hole gem!!

Course is in some nick compared to 2 years ago, biggest turn around is the second green. Night and day of a difference, blokes are putting the effort in and it shows

temporary 4th green makes no sense and spoils that hole massively! Don't see the need.. original green looked really well, confused why it wasn't in play.

Course plays fairly well. In general a well kept, tricky course.

Problem we had was the pace of play and etiquette from members (which seemed non existent from the experience we had) have to reiterate I'm not talking about everyone that plays this course. Just the few people we encountered on the day..

Course was packed, which is fine, good to see people out there and the course doing well.

We were a 2 ball, playing at a relatively decent pace. 4 ball in front of us, we were right up there trumpet the whole back 9, not once were we offered to play through.

On not one but two occasions we were held up, 1st instance when a two ball behind us decided to skip two holes to avoid the slow play in front. (From 4th green to 6-7th tee)But walking directly up the middle of the fairway on the 5th hole, slowing play down even more. I'm a fairly decent hitter and was able to reach the green on both attempts, but I wasn't able to hit until the blokes had started to veer to the left towards the burn just before the green. Again on the 9th, while on the tee box, another two guys walked from the 8th green, to about 100 yards INFRONT of the 9th tee box. Both dropped a ball and hit towards the 9th green. Talk about etiquette. Doesn't seem to be any up here at all.

Visitors can be your bread and butter so respect everyone on the course. Not just the "members"

Competition tees are white marked which is fine. But really confused as to why on the first tee, "Visitors" must play from different tees yet again, not whites or reds, "visitors tee for the first hole only"

Absolutely ridiculous if you ask me. Even though signage states. Whites are for members and competitions. So surely we should be able to play off the reds. Apparently not.

Slightly unwelcoming to be told that your being isolated from not just competition tees, (which is fine) but the normal red tees also,

Genuinely confused by this..literally makes no sense to have one tee for competitions and members (same tee box) and another tee box located Infront a few yards ahead. Then another for "visitors"

Likley won't be back. Not worth the hassle.

A lovely wee 9 hole course, which I thoroughly enjoyed. One slight downside was the course had obviously had a lot of water over the winter and the fairways and greens were covered in sand Didn't bother us at all on the fairways but made the greens slow. Took a bit of adjusting to. I'm sure when it gets into the summer it will be much better and we'll be back to have another go. Great value for the price!!

Lots of sand over fairways felt like playing from bunker entire day

I have played this course before at least three times I have the staff always helpful and the course layout brilliant it is a wee gem of a course we worth the price will definitely play again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Course in great shape. The club has done a great job on the 4th as well.

A busy and social course, with a mix of players. common to see groups playing here, the course stays open in rainy conditions at a very affordable fixed price as of this review. Quick access from motorway and enough parking. The course play ranges from quiet and relaxed to fast paced and a good exercise felt by the 9th, possibly a good speed run after work for many.

Great wee course, the first proper one I played on and I’ve been back a few times since. Really well looked after & haven’t had a bad experience yet.

Played in spring having previously played in late summer when course was starting to get some. Fairways are like compacted mud rather than spongy grass. It’s clear the course struggles with rain. 2 good holes, rest are relatively plain and straightforward. Price has risen 15% this year and prob makes it too expensive for me to play regularly for what you get

Woman at reception was lovely couldn’t ask for nicer person.
